Ex-Washington Post Editor Slams Jeff Bezos

Wait 5 sec.

Former Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron condemned Jeff Bezos’ revamp of the paper’s opinions section, saying he was “sad and disgusted” by the billionaire’s demands, the Daily Beast reports.Said Baron: “There is no doubt in my mind that he is doing this out of fear of the consequences for his other business interests, Amazon (the source of his wealth) and Blue Origin (which represents his lifelong passion for space exploration). He has prioritized those commercial interests over The Post, and he is betraying The Post’s longstanding principles to do so.”
